no internal discussions between the

thus hampered by the existing condi-

A Decision of the Supreme Court
on Town License Vote.
The supreme court yesterday rendered
a decision that will at least interest the
village of Lamberton, while it will set
tie nothing. In March last an election
was held in Lamberton upon the queS-
ton whether licenses should be granted
for the sale of intoxicating liquors. The
election resulted in majority of one

time seemingly acQuiesced in by all,
but when in June licenses were applied
Tor, the vote was recanvasSed by the
village council, and one vote labeled
against license" rejected as illegal,
thus making the vote tie. The cOun-
ell then granted the licenses, and George
Holden applied to the supreme court
Tor writ OF certiorari to bring up for
review the alleged action of the council.
The writ is refused, while the action of
the council is pronounced illegal. The
syllabus follows;

STILL TALKING OF 1T.
The Broken Up Arrangements tt
Banquet Scandinavian Soldiers


Banquet Scandinavian Soldiers.
There is much indignation among
Scandinavian citizens in ST. Paul over
the dismal failure of the effort to enter
tain the Swedish, Danish and Norwe-
gian army officers, who visited the city
last Saturday at the close of the inter
national drill at Chicago. August Pom
thon, a prominent Scandinavian and
chief deputy in the Office of City Comp
troller Roche, makes the following ex-
planation:
The SUNDAY GLoBE'S article, referr-
ing to the reception of the officers from
Sweden. Norway and Denmark is, in
some points, incorrect. 1t says: s.Hun-
CRY Chicago men broke up the arrange
ments for lunch to visiting Norwegian
soldiers" Most of those soldiers were
SWedes, Danes and a few Norwegians.
Those hungry Chicago men are
respectable newspaper men, who
arranged the excursion to st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Consequently
there is nothing astonishing in their
insisting upon taking part in all those
entertainments, and no evidences what
ever OF empty stOmachS. The Door
Judgment of the committee to have the
guests entertained by only fourteen, or,
as it finally turned out, only eight
Scandinavians, is the cause of all the

sense thinks it an outrage that few

Dupries, the latter bright young girl
of seventeen. She testified that she en-
tered the Union block about 8o'clock in
the evening to call for a young man
who was to escort her home, and that
she was met by Hunt, who enticed her
into his own room on the top floor of the
building, locked the door and made
improper proposals to her. He was
frightened by her screams and desisted,
making her promise that she would
never tell any one of the occurrence be-
fore he allowed her to go. Hunt, who
is teacher in the House of Hope Sun

blackmail. He said the girl was amad-

compromising position, and had threat

money. When the case was reopeied

Lieut.. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, of
the United States army, will arrive in
this city this afternoon. His purpose
in coming here is to consult with Gen.
Ruger regarding the recent Indian
troubles at the Crow reservation. Maj.
George @. White was asked last even
ing if the Loyal Legion had made any
preparations for receiving Gen. Sheri-
dan. The major said that it was the in
tention of the Legion to tender the dis
tinguiShed general an informal recep-
ton and banquet at the Ryan hotel, and
this information was wired him. 81 re-
ceived telegram, however, this after
noon," said Maj. White, ''from Gen.
